I'm using a mac pro as a headless webserver. It has 10.6 standard, not osx server.
In old versions of osx, you could specify which ports to open specifically in the firewall System Preferences. This seems to have been replaced by an "intelligent" interface that pops up a dialog box whenever a new connection is attempted.
This is suboptimal because I want to use my server only via without a screen: only for ssh and web connections, as well as "secret" webpages which are accessible under different ports: eg http://my.server.com:3999
Is there a solution? (Other than having to keep the VNC/screensharing port open and frequently checking there?)
Cheers,
Yannick
